 Hey! Its great to see you again. I am happy to announce that filming is officially over, and all processes have went extremely smooth. Just to recap, My group includes me, Harley Hansen, and Franshesca Leiva. During the filming process, I split the camera work with Harley Hansen. I decided I was going to film some clips of Franshesca character, Ellie, stealing from target. In order to do so, I used some close-up shots. Next, I made sure to use some over the shoulder shots to emphasis the texting scenes. Then, we decided it would be a good idea to duplicate the beginning scene. This of which, was a short clip consisting of me opening my eyes. I emphasized this shot, knowing it would add character to our production. Overall, the emphasis of these shots were meant to apply to the structure of the film. Creating a more mystery/ eerie/ thriller approach. Then, when recording the "Bye mom!" scene, we decided to get a close up shot of the note on the fridge. As well as add in subti

 Hey! Welcome ack to my so called blog. In the process of filming, we concluded a few major scenes. The same scenes that were applied in the storyboard. After we filmed completely, I added all these scenes into the production, using cap cut. I reviewed the film, reviewed it again, and still felt as if something was off. I knew I had to improvise. So, after discussion with my group, I decided to add an unexpected plot twist. With the goal of portraying the uncovering of a mystery, this plot twist was last minute. It consisted of a very fast time lapse, in which the whole film was recorded. It essentially meant that everything that happened, was fake. My idea was a reach at first, but after putting in this plot twist I was extremely impressed. Not only did it go amazing, but it matched up perfectly with the music. Now, this plot twist came with a little altering. This included the change in time. Which means I had to get rid of some filler shots. It also meant that i had to add in a diff

   Hello! Welcome back! After communication, me and my group have decided to use Cap cut. We are familiar with this app, as we've used it in past productions. I am familiar with the set up of this app. I've already applied some of our clips into the app, with the idea of adding on as we go. A few fade-in edits were placed in. As well as a few duplicates. During this process I duplicated the same video 6 times, each time it being a different part of the clip. This was also combined by two other clips that were duplicated. Next, I added an extracted, royalty free, background music into the production. For this, I screen recorded the music and extracted it. I then applied this into several parts of the production. This includes the beginning, and the very last few clips. I decided i was going to lower the exposure, and brightness of the film, feeling it fit more into our realm. Next, i added another sound, a slightly more upbeat, time passing noise. This was applied over the Targe

 Hey! Welcome back! The filming process has been set back, Once again. After all of our schedules not aligning we've had to make some tough decisions. We've decided it's maybe not the best idea for us to film in a "psych ward." However, we did make the final decision to film within Harley's sisters room. As it gives a more eerie approach. I am however, happy to say I am more content with this decision. Another major decision we decided to make was splitting up filming into two days, not consecutively. We realized that with our schedules, we couldn't make the time to film on more than two days. We did however, come up with some great ideas. We did have to adjust the ending of our film, due to the setting change. Now, the end of our production will say, "time for your medication." This idea is a more plot-twist approach, created by me. As the editor also, i felt this would give more context to the film, making a timely approach make sense. Through

  Hey! Welcome back. I am disapointed to say that the filming process has been a little slow. We have however, agreed on our exact plan. We plan to film in several settings. Those being Harley's house, Barne's and Noble, aswell as Target. This also includes parking lots, bathrooms, etc. We also agreed that Me, and Franshesca would be the only actors featured in this film. With me being the main character, and franshesca being character number 2. Our actor's names will be Luna, and Ellie. As we went over some clips, we decided to retake each one about three times. Feeling as if this would give us more flexibility in choosing the perfect clip. After consideration, we decided to delete any extra clips, choosing the ones we felt were the most valuable to our production. The process of filming the beginning of the production was a lot of fun! I had an idea to do a "first pov" perspective. Aswell as an anticipation clip regarding a lead up scene. During this clip, i mad

   Hello! welcome back! I am so excited to announce that we have started filming. This process was not easy to start, and we did have to get through many setbacks. However, these obstacles were overcome. It started with Harley behind the camera, filming me open my eyes. We used this as it was a crucial scene and matched with the storyboard. Next, I filmed man filler shots, used for the opening sequence. These shots consisted of first Pov, tracking shots, close up, etc. Thes were also used for buildup and anticipation. I used the best out of what we had, and the film has now become in progress! I 'm planning on beginning editing once Harley sends over the footage. We will be not only enjoyable, but productive. While filming, I did have to retake many shots, as I kept messing up. We saved these bloopers to look back on and laugh at! As we may make slight adjustments in our plan, we are grateful that filming itself went smooth. We still plan to film the remainder of the scenes. Which

   Hello! It's great to see you here once again. I regret to inform you of some very disappointing news. Me and my peers were unable to find the time to film. We had a plan to film in the beginning of February, but this did not occur. With unfortunate events, me and my peers had to collectively agree on another day. This was extremely difficult to make work as we all have different responsibilities. However, we all made sacrifices and put aside what can be done. Our new plan date to film is February 16th. Our plan consists of still, all the same things. NOT including a few minor changes due to setbacks. These changes include the possibility of a scenery change. Weve also discussed the safety measures needed to take when filming. For example, me and my group plan to film a stunt "theft" scene in a store. In order to avoid any misinterpretations, we can get permission from the store beforehand in order to avoid and legal actions. This scene will consist of me and Francesca.

   Hello! Welcome back to yet another blog. I'm so excited you are here. To begin, me and my group came up with a pitch in which we all liked. My group, consisting of Harley Hansen and Francesca Leiva. Our pitch includes "A girl struggles to realize the blurred lines between fiction and reality." After much communication and thought, we plan to film in the start of February. This was set back by many occurrences. Between our collective work schedules, and other responsibilities, we struggle to find the time to start filming. We plan to film just the beginning shots. This includes a girl opening her eyes, awakening from a very realistic slumber. Another of her taking medications. As we still continue to be faced with many harsh setbacks, we don't allow this to cut our motivation short. I, Omnia Fahmy, plan to be the leading role in this film. Taking upon the role of the "girl 1." This role does not have a specific character name, as it isn't revealed thro
